Chapter 340: The Lock of Energy
Alonsos: They hurried to the source of the plague.
A monster that was clearly dead, but still able to move, but had lost its mind.
A resident of Stratholme, exhausted and in high temperatures, lying on the ground and dying.
He seemed to be nearing the end of his life, but Alonsos felt something even more terrifying in him.
"It looks like some kind of curse." Luo Bihua also sensed something unusual from the plague infected. He was a little uncertain.
"Did the orcs do it?" When Alonsos heard the word curse, he immediately thought of the invading orcs.
They have their own mage! There are even some terrible powers in their hands.
"Not sure. But this power is certainly evil." Luo Bihua looked at the life that turned into an undead spirit after death, and said affirmatively.
"Let me try, teacher." Uther spoke before Alonsos did. He was covered in a rich light, and under Alonsos' surprised gaze, he healed the dying inhabitants of Stratholme in front of him.
The rich holy light covered the opponent's body, and the dark power in the opponent's body was expelled little by little. A quarter of an hour later, when the light in Uther's hand had dissipated, the plague-infected had returned to their normal state, and even their breathing was stable and powerful.
"Is it solved?" Luo Bihua looked at the infected, obviously that kind of power should be quite tricky and troublesome in his cognition. But the inhabitant in front of him, who had been rescued by Uther from the hands of death, made him feel a little dazed.
"No, that power is hard to expel and when my light dissipates within him, he will still have symptoms again." Uther shook her head with a heavy face. Although it seems that his treatment is working well, it is clear to him that he has not been able to eradicate the root cause.
The curse of that energy has deeply infected the soul of this person, or rather, after the manifestation of the disease, the infection of his soul is irreparable.
Before that, people were in the same state as normal people.
He spoke his speculation. Whether it was Alonsos or anyone else present, they understood the seriousness of the matter.
This meant that they could not determine from the patients how many residents of Stratholme were infected with the plague at this moment.
If the plague of the Curse had spread covertly on a large scale, the worst-case scenario, the inhabitants of Stratholme, would have already been infected.
Thinking that Stratholme had gathered most of the troops that Lordaeron could now urgently support, Alonsos couldn't help but feel a chill to his bones.
Once the plague completely begins to explode on a large scale, it does not need the attack of those orcs outside, and the order of Stratholme will already begin to collapse.
"Can you find the source of this curse and get rid of it?" Alonsos' eyes were on the Archmage Lobihua and his disciple Uther.
"If we investigate, maybe we can find the source. If we still have time, we can also ask for help from the dragon elves, and even the forces such as Dalaran.
But now, I'm afraid the plague won't give us time." Uther sighed. The joy of regaining freedom and reunion completely vanished in my heart. As a healer, he had learned from the Light's feedback that the infection had been imperceptibly present in the infected for at least ten days.
If it is a large-scale spread of the plague, the audience of the infected people in Stratholme is probably a suffocating number.
He can treat one, he can treat ten hundred, but in the face of the infected who may explode in the future, his personal strength is weak. Unless he is the God of Light.
Alonsos's face darkened, but he was still in good spirits and issued one emergency wartime decree after another.
Area isolation, light detection, food testing, drinking water filtration, and more. Although he knows that these actions may be a drop in the bucket now, he can still reduce some losses and buy some time.
After giving the order, Alonsos had to ask the elven mage Lobihua to open a portal to Lordaeron and deliver the terrible news to Lordaeron's king, Terenus.
Luo Bihua also understood the seriousness of the matter now, although the elves had always been reluctant to contact the outside world, but the alliance with humans and elves and the threat of invaders made him not refuse.
"Teacher, it's time to spread the power of the Light." Uther waited until his teacher had arranged everything, and then took the initiative to step forward and said, "Since the Holy Light can suppress the power of this plague, as long as someone has mastered the Holy Light, or is bathed in the Holy Light, it can delay the outbreak of the plague and buy us more time."
"I also desire all to believe in the Light and master it, but Uther, my disciple, you must understand that not all of you can perceive the existence of the Light and use it properly." Alonsos said helplessly.
"Actually, you don't need to be able to master it." Uther pulled out a cross that she wore under her collar, and the thick light that swirled on it made Alonsos' eyes widen.
"Those orcs, most of them don't have direct control of the Light, but they can use the Light within a certain range. Obviously, they are more advanced in their study and perception of the Light than we are. For example, we only know the Light, but they have already touched the root of the Light. Or the master of the Light, the gods!" Uther continued.
"Gods?" Alonsos looked at his disciple in amazement. Does this seem to be at odds with what he taught him in the Light?
"The Light has a will. At the Orc camp, I mastered the art of communicating with the will of the Light. I have gained a lot of knowledge about it from the Light. With this artifact, I can establish a realm of light in Stratholme, and the people in this realm will be protected by it." Uther held aloft a strange cross that glowed with a warm glow, the cross enclosed in a circular frame, and said solemnly.
"Tell me what you think, kid." Alonsos's gaze softened, and he felt that after his disciple returned, he had become a little different from before, and seemed to be more calm and trustworthy. On the other party's body, the temperament of a leader can no longer be hidden.
"We can use the Basilica of the Light in Stratholme as a sanctuary for the inhabitants of the Light to come and pray, which can greatly soothe their fearful hearts and bring them courage and peace. We only need to arrange for people from different regions to come to pray for a certain time every day to receive the baptism of light, so that the outbreak of the plague can be extended as much as possible. As long as we can find a way to solve the plague before it breaks out on a large scale, then we will be able to achieve ultimate victory." Uther said firmly.
Alonsos nodded in acknowledging his disciple's suggestion, but then said with some apprehension, "Are you sure this cross will last until the moment we find a solution? Although it is a holy light artifact, and the power of holy light contained in it is so strong that even I am surprised, but ......."
"It can replenish the Light! As long as the people who believe in the Light pray daily in the church, they can replenish it with the power of the Light. If we preach it well, and the people's faith in the Light is more devout and stronger, maybe there will be no loss at all?
If someone is able to receive the light in prayer and receive the power of the Light, it means that there is one more fellow believer among us. If a large number of Knights of Light can be formed, then the power of both Lordaeron and the Human Alliance will increase as a result." Uther Dao.
Alonsos smiled at his disciple's somewhat whimsical words, and once upon a time, he had made a similar promise in Dalaran. Looking at Uther, he suddenly saw his former self.
"Priests and paladins are not so easy to cultivate, in addition to having strong beliefs, they also need to adhere to and enforce those codes in their daily lives." Alonsos patted his disciple on the shoulder.
"That's the official knight who truly practices the path of Light. But if there is a Holy Light Cross, through some skill, the soldiers in its shrouded area, all who believe in the Holy Spirit
Those who are of light will be protected by the Light. It's more of a buff magic." Uthermore held the Cross of Light. From the Light, he gained a great deal of knowledge and skills about the Light, including techniques similar to the creation of orc totems.
Uther reproduces it, but it is not necessarily a totem, but it can also be a banner, and uses it as a reserve of the Light and a moving realm of Light to forge his own Knights of the Light.
Like the Orcs, they are not staunch followers of the Light, but they can still use the power of the Light with permission.
As long as he grasps the source and recruits some committed followers of the Light, Uther believes that under the guidance of the Light, this force will become the strongest shield and spear of humanity in the face of invaders.
……
Time passed quickly.
Although the rumors of the plague in Stratholme have spread, due to Alonsos's measures, the order of Stratholme has not collapsed for the time being.
Especially after Alonsos announced that as long as they believed in the Holy Light and came to the church every day to pray, the outbreak of this plague could be suppressed, and the faith and devotion of all the people of Stratholme to the Holy Light were raised to an incredible level in a short period of time.
The Basilica of the Holy Light in Stratholme has been remodeled, and at Uther's request, with the help of the court mages, the church has some fine lines and a tall six-winged figure.
Before Alonsos could breathe a sigh of relief, bad news followed. Luo Bihua brought back even worse news, that is, this plague has also sprouted in the rear. Although King Terenus dealt with it in a timely manner, there is no doubt that a huge hidden danger has begun to surge.
At the request of King Terenus, it was hoped that Alonthos would appoint one of his disciples with the power of the Light to deal with the plague in Lordaeron.
Alonsos pondered for a long time, and appointed his disciple Tirio over. As he set out, Tirio took with him a thick pile of knowledge and skills about the Light that Uther had given him.
What Alonsos didn't know was that Dalaran, the magical holy land of mankind, was also in a huge panic and chaos at this moment.
The magic is gone!
In other words, the higher esoteric magics have changed, and they are no longer controlled and unleashed by the mages. During this period, there have even been mages who have been strongly attacked when they are studying the release of certain advanced magic.
[At present, it is the most complete and best app for listening to books, integrating 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of timbres, and it supports offline reading
He built his own mage tower, which is said to contain more magic books than Dalaran's library, and the recorded advanced magic skills and magical knowledge far surpass Dalaran, the so-called holy place of human magic.
The other party has been in seclusion until now, and it is said that he has been studying more esoteric magical knowledge.
In the eyes of the mages of Dalaran, if anyone could do such a thing, it must have something to do with Egwen. Even if it's not the other party, Egwen should have the corresponding information there.
What's more, if the other party didn't do it, then she could also join the investigation. I believe that it is impossible for the other party to ignore this.
